- **Delivery Times**
- **Orders**
- **Triggers**

## Shipments

The **Shipments** tab shows all shipments that Karla has captured for your shop within a selected time frame.

### What You Can Do Here

- View all shipments for a specific period
- Filter shipments by:
  - Date range
  - Customer segments (e.g., Shopify tags)
  - Shipment phase
  - Delivery status

### What Insights You Get

- Carrier performance at a glance (e.g., normal vs delayed shipments)
- Comparison across different carriers
- Visibility into shipment outcomes such as returns

### Shipment Table

The shipment table lists all shipments matching your filters and allows you to:

- Identify specific delivery issues
- Filter for special cases (e.g., returned shipments)
- Export the data as a **CSV file** to share with your operations or logistics team

---

## Delivery Times

The **Delivery Times** tab focuses on how long your shipments take to arrive.

### What You Can See

- Average delivery time in:
  - Business days
  - Calendar days
- Delivery time development over time
- Performance based on different timestamps, such as:
  - Order placed → delivered
  - Order fulfilled → delivered

These views help you understand carrier performance more accurately.

### Carrier & Country Comparison

If you ship to multiple countries, you can:

- Compare delivery times by country
- See how different carriers perform in each region

This makes it easier to identify where delivery performance differs and where improvements may be needed.

### Delivery Targets & Anomalies

If you have a target delivery time (e.g., delivery within 5 days), you can:

- Check whether this target is being met
- See what percentage of shipments exceed the threshold

You'll also see **anomalies**, such as shipments that have not been delivered after several days. These shipments may require:

- Follow-up with the carrier
- Proactive communication with customers

---

## Orders

The **Orders** tab provides additional insights based on your shop data.

### What You'll Find Here

- Order distribution (e.g., by country)
- Orders that used discounts
- An orders table with individual entries

You can also open specific tracking pages directly from this view to see what customers experienced.

---

## Triggers

The **Triggers** tab shows delivery-related notification triggers sent to your systems (e.g., Klaviyo).

### What This Includes

- Trigger types such as:
  - In transit
  - Out for delivery
  - Delivered
- Distribution shown as percentages or counts
- Filtering by carrier

This helps you understand:

- How often certain delivery events occur
- Which carriers generate which triggers
- What information is being sent to your messaging tools
